    Well Spencer I'm a painter and decorator here in N Ireland and I wanted to say that the way you hang paper is the exact way myself and my late father and his two brothers hung paper.., good vid mate:)

    This is so helpful. So many of the wallpaper rolls tell you to start in the corner. Very helpful. We are going to be doing this ourselves and I really wanted to learn how to lay it out.

    I typically start in a corner, 1/3 of a roll's wide away. It works 99% of the time. My other strategy in a complicated room is to find the centre point and work outwards

    I’m new to wallpapering, watching a lot of your videos. They are super and walls are turning out great.Question: where would you start if you were doing only the window wall and couldn’t go around the corner? What would you recommend as the narrowest strip?

    I've hung wallpaper several times. However, I learned from one of your other videos about how to avoid edges lifting by not cutting through the surface of the plaster sheets when trimming. I also thought perhaps I hadn't applied enough paste. Now I know my mistake.

  • @freewoodencrosses

  • @jamesmcinnis208
    @jamesmcinnis208 Před 2 lety +1

    This was helpful. I had always thought you began where you wanted to end because sometimes the beginning and the end connect to each other and if the paper has a pattern it doesn't match. So you would watch the mismatch in the least conspicuous spot of the room. I am now in search of the answer to this question.

    I’m working around a window and a door. If it weren’t for your videos, I’d be trying to measure, match up and hang a one inch strip. 😬 I found my starting point this morning. Hopefully it’s the right one.

    • @spencercolgan
      @spencercolgan  Před 3 lety

      Call round your room or your wall wherever the totality of your installation will be and hold out your tape measure the width of your wallpaper and with your wallpaper tape measure, see where all of the edges will fall and this is how you know where your wallpaper will wind up after it’s installed; in other words you are going to simulate the layout with your tape measure holding it out as wide as your wallpaper us and go round the walls and make a little mark and then you will see if you were too close to a corner

    @danielfeldman7913 Před rokem +1

    Great video! Since walls are rarely plumb and straight, when you turn a corner with your wallpaper, how do you ensure the paper edge is still perfectly straight after turning the corner, to butt up well to the next piece, especially when you have a paper that has a pattern you need to continue? Is there a video on this topic as well? Thanks, again!

    At 4.19 you show where you determine where you will start your run R-L around the windows and this overlaps the previous corner by maybe 200mm (8in). At 5.24, you show where you will continue this previous run, but starting not at the previous overlap datum, but at the previous corner? This does not work. Why do you show completely incorrect methods?
